The ASIS Accolades is an awards competition that recognizes the security industry's most innovative new products, services, and/or solutions. A team of judges representing end users and experts in security technology evaluated all entries and selected the top 10 from over 600 companies exhibiting at ASIS 2013. The awards will be presented at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, September 24 at the Seminar’s “What’s New on the Floor” session in Room S100bc of McCormick Place.

According to Brad Smith, Marketing Director for Medeco, "This award demonstrates our strong commitment to innovation and leadership, coupled with our ability to provide the market with valuable products. This is the second award we've won for this product, and further showcases our unique ability to couple the latest in security technology with wireless access technology from Aperio."

The Medeco M100 eCylinder with Aperio technology offers an easy retrofit solution for mechanical door hardware, adding access control to any door by simply switching out the cylinder. Local wireless communication between the M100 and an Aperio hub connects to the existing EAC system, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of bringing wiring to the door.

The M100 is now available through a bundle kit, which consists of all the hardware necessary to install a complete one-door wireless access control solution, containing the M100 mortise cylinder along with an Aperio Weigand Hub.
